lesson plans of peer teaching


  • Separation of substances
  • diversity in living organisms



Name of the topic: Separation of substances
Instructional Objectives:
-Students will be able to recall terms like hand picking and winnowing.
-Students will be able to explain the method of winnowing.
- Students will be able to give examples for the method of hand picking.
-Students will be able to select appropriate method for separation of different substances.
Concepts:
-Hand picking is a process of separating substances by hand.
-winnowing is a process of separating substances by wind or blowing air.
Previous  Knowledge:
Students have come across various  substances  which are being separated, e.g.: separating tea powder from tea, removal of stones or husk from rice.
Instructional Materials:
Pulses, stones, wheat flour, grams and ground nuts.
Set Induction:
Activity -1
Materials: A packet containing 3 types of pulses (chickpea, mung beans, kidney beans)
Instructions: remove the kidney beans from the packet of pulses and put it in the empty paper bag given to you.
Fill in the observation table.

MIXTURE

COMPONENTS OF MIXTURE
USEFUL              NON-USEFUL

WHAT HAVE WE DONE TO THE MIXTURE?

3 types of pulses




Conclusion:  one useful component is separated from the other.

Activity-2
Materials: wheat flour mixed with stones, sieve.
Instructions: from the mixture which will be given to you, you have to separate the stones from the wheat flour.
Perform the activity and fill in the observation table.

MIXTURE

COMPONENTS OF MIXTURE
  
 USEFUL               NON- USEFUL

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO THE MIXTURE?

Flour and stones




Conclusion: Non- useful component is separated from useful component.



Both the activities of separation were done using different methods (handpicking in case of pulses and sieving in case of wheat flour and stones).
Statement of the topic:
So in todays class we are going to study the different methods of separations in the topic “separation of substances”.
Development of the topic:
Activity-3
Materials: stones in rice, groundnuts and grams.
 Tr. Divides  class  of five students into two groups, gives a mixture of rice and stones to one group and grams and ground nuts to the other group.
Instructions: I want you to separate the stones from the rice and the grams from the ground nuts.

SEPARATION PROCESS

HOW HAVE YOU DONE THE SEPARATION?

Separate stones from rice



Separate grams from groundnuts



Conclusion: separation is done by hand in both the cases.




The method of separation where in we use hand to separate the components is called as hand picking.
The method of hand picking is used to separate slightly larger sized impurities or components and where quantity of impurities is not very large.
Activity-4
Materials: groundnuts along with its coverings.
Instructions: rub the groundnuts in between your hands and try to separate the components by hand.
Students find it difficult to separate by hand, so Tr. Tells the students to hold the groundnuts along with its coverings in the hand and blow air and this helps in separating the two components.

MIXTURE
CAN WE SEPARATE THE MIXTURE

         BY HAND                      BY WIND

Groundnuts along with its covering



Conclusion: The method of separating components by wind or by blowing air is called winnowing.
Winnowing helps to separate lighter components from heavier components.

3) Husk from rice
     b) Winnowing
4) Stones from rice


Homework:
Write 5 examples for the method of hand picking and 2 examples for the method of winnowing.






Name of the topic: diversity in living organisms
Instructional Objectives:
-Students will be able to recall words like diversity, biodiversity.
-Students will be able to spot  differences between leopard and cheetah.
- Students will be able to differentiate between toad and frog.
-Students will be able to classify animals based on their habitat.
Concepts:
-diversity in plants and animals
-diversity in birds,insects and
-diversity in flowers and variety in rice
Previous  Knowledge:
Know to identify different animals and plants.
Instructional Materials:
Different charts on plants and animals.
Set Induction:
Activity-1
Tr. Puts up a chart on plants and tells students to observe the chart and and write the names of any four plants and their features.
Observe the chart and fill in the table given below.
TREE

There is variety in the trees around us.
Activity-2
Tr. Puts a chart on animals
Observe the chart and fill in the observation table.

There is variety even among the animal group.
STATEMENT OF THE TOPIC
Today we are going to study the variety in plants and animals in the chapter “Diversity in living organisms”.
Development of the topic
Tr. Tells the students that in the animal kingdom itself there is variety of life forms among the different groups.
Tr. Then puts the chart on birds and tells students to observe the chart and fill in the observation table.
ANIMALS

NAME OF THE BIRD
SIZE
COLOUR
ABLE TO FLY?
YES/NO















Birds are known for their flight, but there are few birds that are unable to fly. Such birds are called as flightless birds. So there is variety among the birds.
The largest group of animals is constituted by the insects.
Tr. Similarly displays the charts on insects, fishes and flowers and shows the variety among the various groups of living organisms.
Evaluation
Quiz is conducted in the class and students are asked various questions about biodiversity.
Homework
Write the names of 10 different varieties of rice.
